Tyasir Hamra 1/5/07 Jordan Valley CPs, Tuesday, 1/5/07, MorningObservers: Tammy S. and Shula B.06:20 – 08:35Summary: Many surprises!The Valley has taken on the early colors of summer and the fruit on the small plum trees is beginning to ripen. There are many many soldiers throughout the Valley, tents, tanks, vehicles for saving people. It looks like an extensive military maneuver and also like khaki wounds on a raw landscape. Tyasir CP 06:20Two nice soldiers, E. and H., tried to make our stay at the CP pleasant. From the start they asked us quite keenly to stand opposite them at the entrance to the base. The traffic flowed, the Palestinian drivers danced the ‘shirt Debka’ obediently; they were treated courteously and the rifles were held at the ready.Tamra CP 08:00A polite soldier approached us and invited us to stand near him in the inspection shed. Before that, the minute we arrived, five trucks that had been waiting for passage to the West Bank went through. The traffic flowed evenly and at the same time in both directions! We were told that the staff of the high command visited the area yesterday looking for ways to improve the conditions of passage for the Palestinians, and perhaps this was in preparation for the anticipated visit of the Lady of the Valley (‘your commander Daphna’).At this address there is an interview with Daphna:http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/1.7340.L-3214057.00.html
Jordan Valley
See all reports for this place-
Jordan Valley The Jordan Valley is the eastern strip of the West Bank. Its area consists of almost a third of the West Bank area. About 10,000 settlers live there, about 65,000 Palestinian residents in the villages and towns. In addition, about 15,000 are scattered in small shepherd communities. These communities are living in severe distress because of two types of harassment: the military declaring some of their living areas, as fire zones, evicting them for long hours from their residence to the scorching heat of the summer and the bitter cold of the winter. The other type is abuse by rioters who cling to the grazing areas of the shepherd communities, and the declared fire areas (without being deported). The many groundwaters in the Jordan Valley belong to Mekorot and are not available to Palestinians living in the Jordan Valley. The Palestinians bring water to their needs in high-cost followers.
